great news everyone: i figured out the openpnp bottom vision axis orientation issue and can now place 0402 with near 100% perfect accuracy
54
13:37
se6astian
repeatedly
55
14:02
se6astian
there is still a small offset somewhere
56
14:02
se6astian
but that will be easy to correct

se6astian, did you have to choose the jankiest-looking board for the test? :)

so much schmoo

the double sided tape and gaveyard of resistors make it indeed look aweful :D
64
15:07
comradekingu
was hoping that was not the usual run of the mill :)
65
15:08
Spirit532
editing high speed video from a mildly aged camera is such a pain
66
15:08
Spirit532
their proprietary format only really usefully exports into uncompressed avi and raw tiffs, usefully
67
15:08
Spirit532
grrrr
68
15:08
Spirit532
at least resolve understands tiff sequences and plays them blazing fast
69
15:09
se6astian
fun!
70
15:09
Spirit532
I still haven't figured out how to do an average FPN removal
71
15:09
Spirit532
the sensor is a bit out of cal and has some black patterns
72
15:10
Spirit532
I know what I need to do(take an average of X black frames, divide by number, subtract), but I have no idea how to do it in any NLE/grading software
73
15:11
se6astian
we also tried that approach with the beta first
74
15:11
Spirit532
apparently I got autobanned in ##electronics, hold on

but did not get to a point where it produced anything useful
78
15:12
se6astian
alex then approached the topic from a programming POV with proper math background
79
15:12
se6astian
and that worked out very well
80
15:12
Spirit532
well, I can go inside the $60 000 camera and tweak the(presumably) 14 column amplifier voltage pots
81
15:12
Spirit532
but I'd rather not, seeing the numbers
82
15:13
se6astian
interesting that they actually expose such controls :)
83
15:13
Spirit532
expose?
84
15:13
Spirit532
who said anything about expose!?
85
15:13
Spirit532
I ripped into the camera, I own it!
86
15:13
se6astian
ha :D
87
15:13
Spirit532
I wouldn't be an EE if I didn't take it apart.
88
15:15
Spirit532
which alex is the one that made the FPN magically woosh away?

alexML, teach me the ways of fixing FPN

these are my notes for the Beta: https://wiki.apertus.org/index.php/Pattern_Noise
95
15:46
alexML
are you talking about FPN from the same sensor, or something different?
96
15:47
Spirit532
something entirely different
97
15:47
alexML
have some samples?
98
15:47
Spirit532
FPN from an extremely large pixel(1280x1024, full-frame) sensor from a HS camera
99
15:47
Spirit532
have samples indeed, hold on
100
15:48
Spirit532
i.spirit.re/fpnsmp.zip
101
15:48
Spirit532
there.
102
15:48
Spirit532
these are raw bitmaps
103
15:48
alexML
for the beta, a large part of the dynamic row noise (the non-fixed part of the pattern noise) could be estimated from the black columns
104
15:48
Spirit532
it's not dynamic
105
15:48
Spirit532
it stays nearly perfectly constant throughout the operation
106
15:48
Spirit532
just getting slightly higher/lower in intensity with temperature
107
15:49
Spirit532
it's designed to operate at ~45-48C(silicon, body is at around 50C), but the sensor appears to have been calibrated stone cold
108
15:49
Spirit532
and so when it gets up to operating temp, it becomes fuzzy.
109

15:50
alexML
if it's not dynamic, a dark frame subtraction should do the trick
111
15:50
alexML
it's a bit harder to measure the temperature variations though
112
15:51
Spirit532
except I can't just subtract that
113
15:51
Spirit532
at least I wasn't able to in AE/Vegas
114
15:51
Spirit532
it just goes funny
115
15:51
alexML
are you working on raw (linear) data?
116
15:51
Spirit532
I think so
117
15:52
alexML
what image format do you get from the camera?
118
15:52
Spirit532
proprietary voodoo, can be exported into tiffs
119
15:52
Spirit532
https://i.spirit.re/UL0Ln.zip
120
15:53
Spirit532
frame 0 is black(almost completely), the other is with action, slightly underexposed
121
15:55
Spirit532
that was shot at ISO 3200-ish, 1/100 000 shutter, f/5.6
122
15:55
Spirit532
no gain
123
15:57

try this:
125
15:59
alexML
octave:1> a = imread('match1_1kfps_100kthshut_f56-N001_00000000.tif');
126
15:59
alexML
octave:2> b = imread('match1_1kfps_100kthshut_f56-N001_00000899.tif');
127
15:59
alexML
octave:3> imwrite(uint16(b-a), 'd.tif');
128
15:59
alexML
octave:4> imshow(sqrt(b-a), []);
129
15:59
Spirit532
implying I have octave D:
130
15:59
Spirit532
but, that's just subtracting it directly, right?
131
16:00
Spirit532
and making it non-linear
132
16:00
alexML
the nonlinear part is just to boost the shadows when previewing
133
16:00
jucar
left the channel
134
16:01
Spirit532
the other problem is
135
16:01
Spirit532
sometimes the shots can't be purely dark
136
16:01
Spirit532
and I can't do a reference frame every shot
137
16:01
alexML
it changes over time?
138
16:01
Spirit532
no, I can't have a black shot for every frame, since I don't have a shutter capable of flipping at 168kHz
139
16:01
Spirit532
lol
140
16:02
Spirit532
the pattern is static, but it gets more/less pronounced
141
16:03
alexML
so it's not static :P
142
16:04
Spirit532
can that be defined as not static?
143
16:04
alexML
it changes during a single video clip?
144
16:04
Spirit532
no, but it changes clip-to-clip
145
16:04
alexML
even if the clips have the same settings? (exposure time, iso/gain)
146
16:04
Spirit532
if they're shot almost sequentially, not really
147
16:05
Spirit532
but if I give the camera an hour to warm up, they vary wildly
148
16:05
alexML
ok, so it's probably temperature
149
16:05
Spirit532
yes
150
16:05
Spirit532
I can actually get the raw sensor temp with each clip
151
16:05
Spirit532
but I doubt that really helps
152
16:06
Spirit532
in that clip the sensor was at 44C
153
16:06
alexML
you could record a series of dark clips (along with temperature metadata), ranging from cold (winter helps) to hot (say after 1-2 hours of recording)
154
16:07
Spirit532
that's kinda what I did with the first archive
155
16:07
Spirit532
but it's never spot-on
156
16:07
alexML
you may find hints about temperature by measuring hot pixels
157
16:08
alexML
https://wiki.apertus.org/index.php/Black_Calibration#Dark_current_measurement_from_hot_pixels
158
16:08
Spirit532
if you scroll through the images blown way up in gain
159
16:08
Spirit532
https://i.spirit.re/OGZx7.webm
160
16:08
Spirit532
you can see that there's regular CMOS sensor noise, and then there's this "filter" on top
161
16:08
alexML
although, this alone was not enough on the Beta to fix temperature variations
162
16:08
Spirit532
which remains absolutely constant
163
16:09
Spirit532
I guess my best bet is to just take a calibration shot before every real shot as close as possible
164
16:10
alexML
looks like some flicker; I'm not sure what I'm looking at (e.g. what's on the time axis, how the grayscale mapping was done)
165
16:10
Spirit532
that's just flicking through the images in irfanview
166
16:10
Spirit532
it does a min-max thing
167
16:10
Spirit532
to show you the most image
168
16:11
alexML
ah, so that is very likely to cause flicker
169
16:11
Spirit532
there's no real flicker
